This.

Alex Ferguson said Bobby Murdoch was genuinely World Class and one of the top 5 midfielders in Europe at the time.

For me the full backs have to be Gemmell and McGrain. Two outstanding players, I don’t think some people realise just how good these two were.

(How many full backs can say they scored in two separate European Cup/Champions League finals?)

I'd go for...

Goram (Vile cunt but class goalie)

McGrain
McNeill
Gough
Gemmell

Johnstone
Cooper
Murdoch
Souness

Dalglish
Law

Obviously Big Jock as manager.

Cooper was never a great player. he won next to nothing in the game and as soon as R*ngers got a decent side together he got punted.

For a winger he was slow as fuck, his best days were in a shitty wee motherwell team.

Sentimental hun media bollocks.

Actually I agree with you here, perhaps not as harsh as you've put it but cooper wasn't nearly as great as they make out. He had a decent cross on him and a nice bit of footwork but he wasn't an amazing talent.

The Maestro, was a great footballer, a great Celtic man, and IS to this day, but he wouldn't be in my Scotland select. He taught my generation what it was to be a proud tim, a gentleman and have some manners about you, he was a role model and if he hadn't cancelled his signing at my school and sent Pierce O'Leary instead I'd probably shag the guy, but that fucked me off.

Spiers took a bashing from the Huns for calling Cooper pretty ordinary…

Was there nothing something about him (Cooper) storming out of Ibrox in revulsion because there were now ‘too many Catholics’ at R*ngers?

Ahh, so this is why the Huns love him. Fuds.

Someone would need to clarify it.

But I’m almost certain Terry Butcher made these revelations in his book… he definitely said there were many in the squad who were unhappy with the signing of Catholics.

I had mentioned in another thread that I had heard he was livid when they signed Judas and that this was one of the reasons he eventually left.

Not sure if it's true obviously but it wouldn't surprise me.
